If you’re unable to add your Nest thermostat to the Nest app during setup, there may have been a pairing failure or a configuration error. Select the message you see on the thermostat or in the app below to troubleshoot.
You see “Your thermostat couldn’t be added to your account” on the thermostat
This means your thermostat was not successfully added to your account.
To fix this issue, complete these directions on your thermostat:
-
Select Learn More. You’ll see the m15 error.

Choose Reset Device. The thermostat will restart and restart setup in the app.
Note: this will not reset all of your thermostat settings, just the account settings you chose.
You see “Added to your account” on the thermostat but “! INCOMPLETE” on the Nest app home screen
This means you have successfully added your thermostat to your account, but quit the Nest app before you enter settings like address or Eco Temperatures.
